route and take steps towards the early
organization of g company to build the

tial TO the future prosperity of this sec
ton it is the Fort Worth and Northeast
ern, and the day when a conductors stand
ing on its platform at Arthur, shouts all
aboard for Fort Worth will be CREST day

The recent train robberieS in Texas and
the Frisco express robbery in Missouri
will, expressmen say, bring about what
should have been done long ago, and that
is provide all express cars with safes that
cannot be opened by the messenger, so
when robbers bosrd the train the mes
Senger cannot under any circumstances
be made to give the higbwaymen access
10 the valuables in his care. These |
safes are now on some roads, and their |
use promises to become general. Atcer- |
tain stations agents have key or are
furnished with the combination to these |
safes, and they alone can open them, and
then under such circumstances that it
would be next to impossible for thieves
10 make raid.
